Monterrey
Monterrey is a very industrilized city, about 4 million people. it is also very Americanized. I would start with the Chamber of Commerce in Monterrey and they will give you information on avenues you may follow relative to your skills. This city is very diverse and a lot of Americans and other nationalities live and work there. One thing I would point out is that it is (my esperience) not cheap to live there.
I worked all over Mexico for about 12 years but mostly in the North from east to west. I was involved in Building manufacturing plants. Generally, those companies moving globally to Mexico. I started with a US company that wanted to bulid in Mexico. I lived in Mexico a pertion of the time but maintained and address in the US.

A work permit is not usually difficult. The best avenue is to call the Mexican Consulate in a major city you are close to and they will give you step by step instructions on what to do. When I was working there I found it very enjoyable, I learned to speak Spanish and ended up getting married to a beautiful Mexican Lady.
I learned the language on my own with help from new found friends.
I can only tell anyone my experience. I am a self started. I don't depend on others to do things for me. I was blessed with a friendly nature and ask questions and give answers when asked if I can. When I arrived in Mexico I knew nothing, but what I found was that when I tried to communicate in Spanish the mexican people are most willing to help. Respect is the key on both sides. If you are the type person that believes people are different, not more or less, then you will enjoy Mexico.
